Reactions to Anthony Scaramucci's White House departure

In the hours following Anthony Scaramucci's abrupt resignation from his post, legislators, officials and celebrities are speaking out about the New Yorker's short-lived, yet highly-publicized, stint as White House communications director.

Scaramucci's departure comes just days after former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and Press Secretary Sean Spicer left the Trump administration. Monday morning, retired Marine Corps general John Kelly was sworn in as Priebus' replacement.

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle took to Twitter to acknowledge the 11-day White House career of the former Wall Street financier.

The White House posted a statement, stressing that Scaramucci "felt it was best to give Kelly a clean slate" and the "ability to build his own team," wishing him all the best. The statement's use of the term "clean slate" uses the same language Spicer used during his resignation.

Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo of Florida praised the decision, which comes just hours into Kelly's tenure.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., subtly jabbed Scaramucci about his time at the White House, stressing "a grateful nation" would say "has it really only been 11 days?!?"
